CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. Attempting to go to the posted coordinates will likely get you taken to the detention level. Instead of just signing the cache log, I ask that you draw your personal Totem with the pencils provided or stamp the log with your personal caching ink stamp. An ink pad is provided. Now might be a good time to create your own personal Letterbox Totem for signing letterbox caches.
This is the eighth in a series of caches dedicated to my life-long love of Star Wars. You must answer the following questions using information gathered from viewing Star Wars: The Last Jedi (or looking it up on the Internet!). Answer is in the form North AB° CD.EFG' West HI° JK.LMN'
Caution! There are spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi ahead.
1. This Resistance pilot attempts a daring solo attack against a First Order Dreadnought, a ship that he calls a "fleet killer." His successful destruction of the point-defense cannons enables a bombing attack, in defiance of his orders. Letter A is the number of letters in his first name.
2. This young hero has traveled across the galaxy to seek out the lone remaining Jedi Master to train her in the ways of the Force. However, she finds that he is not interested in training any more Jedi, and it is up to her to convince him to help her understand the Force more fully. Letter B is the number of letters in her name.
3. The Resistance finds itself in a critical situation - under attack by the First Order fleet as they evacuate their base on D'Qar. Kylo Ren leads an attack on the Resistance flagship Raddus, hesitating as he senses his mother's presence on the ship. However, his TIE fighter escorts carry out the attack on the bridge, to great effect. Letter C is the number of members of the Resistance's high command that survives the attack.
4. Kylo Ren finds himself mocked and dismissed by the Supreme Leader for his efforts to fully embrace the dark side of the Force, as he struggles with the aftermath of killing his father. As he deals with his anger, he discovers that he has an unexpected connection with another powerful Force user that allows them both to communicate with each other through involuntary shared visions. This light-side user calls him a monster, as she had formed a bond with the parent he murdered. Letter D is the number of letters in his father's first name.
5. This aquatic world was the birthplace of the Jedi Order. The first Jedi temple was built upon one of the many stony islands that dotted the surface of the planet's ocean, and served as the home of numerous creatures, including porgs, lanais, and thala-sirens. Letter E is the number of letters in the planet's name, divided by two.
6. This astromech droid accompanies Finn and Rose on a secret mission to Canto Bight, a coastal city on the desert planet of Cantonica, known for its casinos and racetracks. While there, he is mistaken for a gambling machine by an intoxicated patron, who stuffs coins into the droid in a futile effort to hit the jackpot. However, the droid uses these coins later to facilitate a jailbreak. Letter F is the number of this BB-series droid.
7. This mysterious slicer is recruited at Canto Bight by Finn and Rose to help them break onto the First Order Navy flagship Supremacy and disable its hyperspace tracker. An amoral thief, he spoke with a stutter but was also skilled at "slicing' into computer systems. He soon turns out to be an unreliable ally, telling Finn, "Live free. Don't join." Letter G is the number of letters in his nickname.
8. The Elite Praetorian Guard was a force of warriors who were tasked with the protection of Supreme Leader Snoke. Following the tradition of the Emperor's Royal Guard, the personal bodyguards of Emperor Sheev Palpatine, the Praetorian Guards wore red robes and armor. They specialized in various martial arts, including Teräs Käsi, and carried various high-tech melee weapons. Letter H is the number of members of the Praetorian Guard.
9. A former stormtrooper in the First Order, Finn tries to desert the Resistance when he realizes that Rey might return to a trap. However, he is stopped by technician Rose Tico, with whom he soon joins to attempt a daring plan that may rescue them all. Letter I is the last letter in Finn's former stormtrooper designation.
10. This First Order general lost the command of Starkiller Base when it was destroyed by the Resistance, but he soon redeems himself in Supreme Leader Snoke's eyes by tracking the Resistance fleet through hyperspace - a formerly impossible feat. As he closes in on the Resistance to wipe them out for good, he has to make a choice about where his loyalties truly lie. Letter J is the number of letters in his last name.
11. These heavy "gorilla walkers" are used by the First Order to attack the Resistance base on Crait, where our heroes have retreated as a last resort. They are much bigger than the AT-AT walkers that the Empire used in its war against the Rebellion, and sport a turbolaser cannon mounted to their backs. Letter K is the final number in the designation of the walker as well as the cannon that it carries.
12. This vice admiral in the Resistance fleet is forced to take command after a savage attack by the First Order. She devised a secret plan to save what she could of the Resistance, although our heroes have their doubts about her true motives. Letter L is the number of survivors left on the Raddus after her jump to lightspeed.
13. The last surviving Jedi, this former rebel turned his back on the Resistance, the Jedi Order, and the galaxy after losing his training academy to one of his student's fall to the dark side. He has even cut himself off from the Force. It now falls to a young girl to remind him that his failure with Kylo Ren doesn't have to be the end of his legend. Letter M is the number of letters in his last name.
14. This leader has to set aside the death of her husband, the apparent permanent loss of her son to the dark side of the Force, and the loss of hundreds of Resistance fighters as she continues to hold out hope for freedom for the galaxy. A former princess of Alderaan, her fiery nature and iron will have led her to spend nearly her entire life fighting against tyranny and oppression. Letter N in the number of letters in her last name.
